Abstract :
The rationalization of electrical energy consumption is a constant goal driving research over the last decades. The pursuit of efficient solutions requires the involvement of electrical energy consumers through Demand Response programs. In this study, a framework is presented that can serve as a tool for designing and simulating Demand Response programs, aiming at energy efficiency through consumer behavioral change. It provides the capability to dynamically model groups of electrical energy consumers with respect to their consumption, as well as their behavior. This framework is currently under development within the scope of the EU funded FP7 project “CASSANDRA - A multivariate platform for assessing the impact of strategic decisions in electrical power systems”.
